Bill Summary
For legislation to improve outcomes for sudden cardiac arrest. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve outcomes for sudden cardiac arrest. It does this by requiring all 911 telecommunicators who provide dispatch for emergency medical conditions to be trained in high-quality Telephone-CPR, which includes recognition protocols for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, compression-only CPR instructions for callers, and continuous education. The bill also requires the Health Policy Commission to establish a procedure for monitoring adherence to these requirements and to adjust state grant or shared revenue amounts based on failure to comply. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Public Health to include sudden cardiac arrest as a reportable disease.
